.... so, after Time Heist, I can't really deny this any longer: I now have a new favourite Doctor (okay, maybe still joint favourite with Three), and I will ship Twelve/Clara to the end of time.

Having this on my wall since my return from my trip with a Doctor Who Magazine in tow, in lovely A2 size, should have told me what I apparently already ( Read more... )

So after completely giving up on Doctor Who at some point in late season 6 and only watching the few specials since, I've decided to make a new effort with Capaldi.

After the first two episodes, my verdict: still don't care for Moffat's writing (more the first episode than the second), but I do like Capaldi and I think there's a good chance I ( Read more... )

* The most important holiday of the year - the combined Victory Day (23 June), Midsummer's Eve (23 June) and Midsummer's Day / St John's Day (24 June) - just has to fall on a weekend this year. *rolls eyes* No days off work, that is ( Read more... )

It's been a grey, grey, grey, muddy, grey, windy, grey Saturday. Seems that we're now into that icky time of the year between winter and spring when everything is full of mud and dirt and dirty old ice and dirty old snow, liberally sprinkled with last autumn's / winter's dog poop, some of it fresh and some of it emerging anew from under layers of ( Read more... )

I've realised that I haven't really posted much apart from picspam and the monthly book comments lately... so here's a completely random post to make up for it, yay?

Fannish things.

Doctor Who: I'm still watching, but it's getting increasingly difficult to remind myself why I'm doing this. Oh yeah, because I still like the characters (it's odd ( Read more... )

Is there any particular reason why Myths and Legends (the Doctor Who DVD set containing what are widely agreed to be three of the absolute worst DW stories ever) is still not coming down in price to any reasonable level? I'm not paying £40 for three horrid stories in a box released half a year ago if most single stories are down to at least £9 if ( Read more... )

Happy Birthday, dear dreamy_dragon73! I hope it's a lovely day for you, and a wonderful start for a new year!

( Cut for ramblings. *iz bored* )

Without going into spoilery territory... I was rather, um, worried, beforehand, to say the least. Matt Smith hadn't wowed me in anything I'd seen before, including the bit in the end of the last season. And he's too young. And all that ( Read more... )

Bloody fuses just blew out again on my side of the flat. That makes twice in two days ( Read more... )

Um, life update: I can haz work. At a steady rate of 5000+ words a day, day after day, week after week, so not leaving any time for much else, really. Did go to the store to buy food the other day... *tries to remember which day it was, fails* Other than that, the continuous cold rain and murky darkness hasn't really been inviting anyway. Hate, ( Read more... )
